I have been using MR v. 7.0.2199 (Paid-for version) for a couple of months, with varying success! After a lot of trial and error I have been able to run various backups to an ext.HDD with a degree of success.Today I ran a weekly Incremental File & Folder backup, but after a few minutes I noticed it had reported the above error! Using Google Search, all I came up with was numerous articles about GMail, which seem irrelevant!

Can you post the last few lines of your backup log with the error so we can see the exact error text and context?

Above is the entry in MR, showing the 'Error' under Last Result...

To paraphrase Obi-Wan, "Those aren't the logs he's looking for." See the screenshot below to find the log of interest. Right-click the main window that shows the log itself, click "Select All", then right-click again and click "Copy" as Nick instructed above.

Your backup completed successfully and the error is being reported from the task scheduler because Windows was hibernate at the end of the backup. This caused an abnormal termination for the task and you can safely ignore that error.
